The Brothers Grimm: triple j film reviews + LISTEN TO THIS REVIEW (mp3 0.8 MB) cast: Heath Ledger, Matt Damon, Lena Headey The last movie Terry Gilliam directed that actually made it to the big screen finished was his adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's drug-addled comic novel Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. That was 1998. Not that he hasn't been trying, though. After his ill-fated attempt at turning The Man Who Killed Don Quixote into a feature (see 2002 documentary Lost In La Mancha for all the gory details), he finally gets back to where he belongs with The Brothers Grimm, not that he didn't have problems making that film, either! The Brothers Grimm is Gilliam and writer Ehren Kruger's ( The Ring ) wild n' crazy take on the lives of real-life fairytale scribes, Willhelm and Jacob Grimm, who penned the the famous Grimm's fairytales. It's 1796, and the 'Will n' Jake' (the perfectly cast Matt Damon and Heath Ledger) are busy playing ghostbusters to small towns all over Europe.

Only the ghosties, witches and beasties they are supposedly exorcising from townships are all fakes staged by Team Grimm out to make an easy buck. The jig is up, however, when a ruthless French 'generale' (longtime Gilliam collaborator Jonathan Pryce hamming it up in a performance that gives John Cleese's "silly French knight" from Monty Python And The Holy Grail a run for his money), sends them in to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a family of girls, reportedly 'spirited away' from their township by an evil enchanted forest. If this sounds like Terry Gilliam at his surreal nightmarish best (think 12 Monkeys (1995), Brazil (1985) and The Fisher King(1991)) you'd be half right. The Brothers Grimm does brim with his trademark dark humour, gruesome 'n' grimy design and some inspired fantasy sequences, especially towards the end when Monica Bellucci ( Irreversible , Matrix II , III ) enters the picture as the evil Mirror Queen.

As his fans know only too well, Gilliam likes to push his actors to embrace their inner loon which, at best, is entertaining (Damon doing 'screaming nancy' was hilarious), and at worst, is grating. Never one afraid to embrace his inner loon, Swedish actor Peter Stormare ( Constantine ) is the biggest case for the negative as Italian torturer Cavaldi. The verdict? The Brothers Grimm is another fascinating and spectacular Gilliam failure, too dark to entertain the kids and too light to be a true Gilliam classic. It is patchy and inconsistent and eminently watchable. Another attempt at a big fat adult cartoon made with real actors. Given the grief Gilliam has making regular movies, perhaps it's time for him to swear off live action features altogether and go back to where he started making kooky cartoons for adult audiences. In animation, there are no limits; there no-one can tell him what to do or how to compromise that insane, alluring imagination of his.

"The problem with movies is that you're in with the most bizarre group of people." — as quoted in Losing the Light: Terry Gilliam and the Munchausen Saga Terrence Vance Gilliam (November 22, 1940-) was the only American in the Monty Python troupe (although he does have British citizenship) and added the most surreal elements of the show through his many animations.

As the series progressed, he also did many small roles the other actors didn't want to perform for various reasons, and had very few speaking parts, if you forget his voice acting during the animated segments (one of his most notable lines is "I want more beans!"; he was also Cardinal Fang of the Spanish Inquisition). He wrote a number of the sketches, and from there co-wrote the troupe's three films based on original material with the rest of the troupe, on which he also played much more parts than he usually would in the series. He co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail and directed the opening segment of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life , "The Crimson Permanent Assurance". From there, Gilliam moved into writing and directing non-Python films, though some of his fellow troupers have appeared in and/or co-wrote them. His specialties are fantasy and science fiction films, often laced with dark humor: one could construe his worldview as "We're all doomed! Isn't that hilarious?" He was J. K. Rowling 's choice of director for the Harry Potter movies — however, Warner Bros. decided against it.

This is understandable, given that few directors in the history of film have been so prone to Executive Meddling , production delays and budget overruns, and just plain bad luck as Terry Gilliam. After Jabberwocky (1977) and the hit Time Bandits (1981), the first great tale of his struggles came with 1985's Brazil . It put him at odds with Universal Pictures when executives attempted to recut the movie, especially its ending; the subsequent book The Battle of Brazil tells the tale. His next film, 1988's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen , went wildly over budget and then bombed in the U.S. thanks to Columbia Pictures undergoing a regime change that kept it from getting proper release and promotion. In the 1990s, things were looking up with The Fisher King (1991), 12 Monkeys (1995), and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). Then at the Turn of the Millennium , his films became a parade of bad situations behind the scenes. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was never completed thanks to trials and tribulations covered in the documentary Lost in La Mancha.

The Brothers Grimm (2005) was beset by Executive Meddling , this time via Bob and Harvey Weinstein. Tideland (also 2005) made it to theaters, but was overlooked and shunned for its focus on pedophilia (plus it was set in, and filmed in a desert, but it just kept raining during filming). And finally, perhaps saddest of all, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) became Heath Ledger 's final film when he died before completing his role . Bad luck simply doesn't cut it: the man's cursed. The Onion once joked that if Terry Gilliam were to have a barbecue, it would be beset by production delays . But his perilous productions have resulted in a portfolio of fascinating, if not always successful, films. Terry Gilliam's works on the wiki: Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-74): Terry Gilliam did many memorable animations for the series.
